Xu Jiaqing’s family was exposed for abusing official resources. The Overseas Chinese Affairs Council has formed an investigation team: it will not exceed 1 year

Xu Jiaqing, the former chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, recently resigned after being accused of his son pretending to be a "photographer" on a trip and her husband using a foreign embassy's official car for personal use. Li Yanhui, acting chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, said today (15th) that the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council had formed a special investigation team on the 13th. However, when asked by opposition legislators about the deadline for completing the investigation, Li Yanhui only responded that it would never exceed one year.

The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan today invited Acting Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission Li Yanhui to report on the "Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission's management of overseas trips on official business, overseas reception, and use of official resources." Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Mingqi attended as a non-voting delegate and was prepared to ask questions. At the same time, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission's letter from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission in the fourth quarter of 2014 was reviewed.

People's Party Legislator Hong Yuxiang mentioned during the inquiry that Executive President Zhuo Rongtai promised to conduct a thorough investigation at the general inquiry on October 2. When will the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council launch an investigation? Li Yanhui responded, "The Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission only received the order to suspend Xu Jiaqing this Monday, and started to form a special investigation team on Tuesday." After hearing this, Hong Yuxiang couldn't help but question, did this period give Xu Jiaqing a chance to destroy evidence?

When faced with KMT legislator Chen Jinghui’s question, how long will the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission’s investigation take? Li Yanhui said that "the investigation will never take more than one year," which once again aroused criticism from opposition members. People's Party legislator Qiu Huiyi criticized that when asked when the investigation would be completed and whether there was a clear deadline, Li Yanhui could not even explain the basic timetable. She even used the excuse that she could not intervene in the investigation and repeatedly emphasized "hopefully as soon as possible" in an attempt to evade supervision by giving vague answers.
